Created in honor of the humanitarian and public services of
Roberto Clemente (1934-1972)

SEAT21
exists to expand Roberto Clemente Day and celebrate his enduring legacy.
Major League Baseball worked with the 30 Clubs to establish
SEAT 21 —
a seat in each ballpark on Roberto Clemente Day dedicated to a well-known hero originally
from the community who will be recognized in addition to the Club Clemente Award nominee.

Recognizing individuals in addition to players who embody the humanitarian spirit
of Roberto Clemente is a natural extension of the current honor bestowed upon
players each year and gives MLB and the Clubs the opportunity to further extend the
impactful message.
